Dangerous Liaisons: Deviant Endothelium NOTCHes toward Tumor Metastasis

Publication date: 13 March 2017
Source:Cancer Cell, Volume 31, Issue 3
Author(s): Peipei Guo, Shahin Rafii
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Wieland et al. uncover a feedback loop in which tumor cells, by augmenting Notch signaling, provoke a senescent and pro-inflammatory state in endothelial cells, promoting neutrophil infiltration, tumor cell adhesion, and metastasis. Interfering with this Notch-dependent crosstalk may be a therapeutic approach to block metastasis.
